5. Programming Your TV, VIDEO, AUDIO Devices

Code-Entry Programming

1. Turn on all the electronic devices (TV, VCR, DVD,
AUDIO) you want to program the remote to
operate.

2. Press [SELECT], then [MUTE] together

until the
power / mode buttons illuminate in slow-rotation
(i.e. CBL Æ TV Æ VIDEO Æ AUDIO Æ CBL…).

3. a. To program your TV, locate the 3-digit code for
your brand in the TV Setup Code

list and enter
it on the keypad of the remote control. Entry
of the correct code will cause your TV to turn
off. If multiple codes are listed for your brand,
you may have to enter several different codes
until your TV turns off.

b. As soon as you have entered a 3-digit code

that turns your TV off, press [MUTE].

1. If the TV turns back on, press [SELECT] to
lock in the code. The power / mode
buttons will blink 3-times and go out.

Or

2. If the TV does not turn back on, enter a
different 3-digit setup code until your TV
turns back on. Then press [SELECT] to
lock in the code. The power / mode
buttons will blink 3-times and go out.

4. To program your VCR or DVD, refer to the VCR /
DVD Setup Code lists

and repeat steps 2 and 3

above.

5. To program your AUDIO

devices, refer to the

AUDIO Setup Code list

and repeat steps 2 and 3

above.

Point and Press® Programming

This method allows you to program

the remote control

without

using codes. Instead, the remote control
automatically finds the correct command that you
select in a variety of codes until you find the code that
operates your device. You then lock in the correct
code as described below.

The following instructions describe how to program
your remote control using the [CH +] or [CH -] buttons
("Power" function during programming). You can also
program your remote control using other buttons /
functions as described in Section 18. When using this
method, there are several important points to
remember:

• The order in which you program your electronic

devices is not

important.

• There may be several codes that turn your
electronic devices on / off (or perform other
functions). Once you lock-in a code, be sure to
check the available functions for that device (i.e.
TV - Vol +/-, Mute, TV Input (TV / VCR button),
VIDEO - Play, Stop, Rew..., AUDIO - Volume /
Mute) to see if they are operating.

• While the remote is searching for the correct
setup code(s) for your electronic devices, it is
possible that other (previously programmed)
devices may turn on / off (or perform other
functions). If this occurs, continue pressing the
[CH +] or [CH -] buttons (or the buttons described
in Section 18) until you find the correct code for
the device you are programming.

• It may take several minutes for the remote to find
the correct code that turns your device on / off (or
performs another selected function). During this
time, the power / mode buttons will illuminate in
fast-rotation (i.e. CBL Æ TV Æ VIDEO Æ AUDIO

Æ CBL..).

Programming your electronic devices using the
[Ch +] or [Ch -] buttons (“Power” function during
programming)...

1. Turn on all the electronic devices (TV, VCR, DVD,

AUDIO) you want to program the remote to
operate.

2. Press [SELECT], then [MUTE] together

until the
power / mode buttons illuminate in slow-rotation
(i.e. CBL Æ TV Æ VIDEO Æ AUDIO Æ CBL...).

3. Press and hold the [CH +] button until one device
turns off. While you are pressing the [CH +]
button, the power / mode buttons will illuminate in
fast-rotation. As soon as one device turns off,
release the [CH +] button.

4. Press [MUTE]. If the device that turned off...
a. Turns back on, press [SELECT] to lock in this

code. The power / mode buttons will blink 3­times and go out.

Or

b. Does not turn back on, press [CH -] one step

at a time until that device turns back on. Each
time you press the [CH -] button, the power /
mode buttons will illuminate once in reverse
fast-rotation (AUDIO Æ VIDEO Æ TV Æ CBL).

Once you have found a code that turns the
device on / off, press [SELECT] to lock in this
code. The power / mode buttons will blink 3­times and go out.

5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 above for each of the
remaining electronic devices you wish to program
the remote to operate.

6. Programming Your TV / VCR Combination

1. First, turn on your TV / VCR combination device

and install a VHS tape.

2. Next

, program your remote to operate the TV

functions.
Using the Code Entry Programming method

described in Section 5, find a TV Setup Code that
operates the TV functions (Power, Vol, + / -,
Mute) of your TV / VCR unit.

3. Last, program your remote to operate the VCR
functions.

Using the Code Entry Programming method
described in Section 5, enter, lock and test each
3-digit VCR Setup Code

for your brand until a
code is found that operates the transport functions
(PLAY, STOP, REW, FWD, PAUSE, REC) of your
TV / VCR unit.

Troubleshooting, Tips

Additional Programming Information

1. The power / mode buttons will illuminate in
slow-rotation (i.e. CBL Æ TV Æ VIDEO Æ AUDIO

Æ CBL...) while the remote is in a programming

mode. In the absence of a keypress entry, the
power / mode buttons will stop illuminating after 30

seconds and the remote will exit the programming

mode.

2. When programming the remote control using the
[CH +] or [CH -] buttons (Power function) under
the Point and Press® Programming method, you
may find a code that turns a device off but not
back on. If this happens…

a. The correct code has not been found as
you may have a code that operates some
but not all of the functions of your device.
Continue pressing [CH +] until your device
turn on.

OR
b. You may have gone past the correct matching

code. Try pressing [CH -] one press at a time
until you find a code that turns your device
back on.

3. When using the Point and Press

®

Programming
method, you can also program your remote using
buttons other than the [CH +] or [CH -] (as
described in Section 5) as follows:

a. [VOL +] – to “go forward” through the codes

using the “VOL +” function on your devices.

b. [VOL -] – to “go back” through the codes using

the “VOL -“ function on your devices.
Note: When you find the correct code, the

volume of the device being programmed will
increase or decrease.

c. [S] - to “go forward” through the codes using

the “CH +” function on your devices.

d. [T] - to “go back” through the codes using the

“CH -“ function on your devices.
Note: When you find the correct code, the

channel of the device being programmed will
increase or decrease.

e. [XX] - to “go forward” through the codes using

the “Fast Forward” function on your devices.

f. [WW] - to “go back” through the codes using

the “Rewind” function on your devices.

Note: When you find the correct code, the

fast-forward or rewind function of the device
being programmed will be performed. To
simplify programming using these buttons,
insert a VHS tape or DVD in the device being
programmed.

You can also program your remote using the other

available functions as follows:
a. Press [SELECT], then [MUTE] together

until
the power / mode buttons illuminate in slow­rotation (i.e. CBL Æ TV Æ VIDEO Æ AUDIO
Æ CBL...).

b. In this order, carefully press [0], [0], [0], [CH+]

and [VOL+]. The power / mode buttons
illuminate in slow-rotation (i.e. CBL Æ TV Æ
VIDEO Æ AUDIO Æ CBL...).

c. You can now program your remote using the
[CH+], [CH -], [VOL+], [VOL -], [S], [T],
[FFWD], [REW], [PLAY], [STOP], [REC],

[PAUSE], [LAST], [FAV], [0] - [9] buttons.

When you find the correct code, the function
associated with the selected button will be
performed.

4. Your remote is equipped with a Point and Press

®

Programming label on the back of its case. This
will help you quickly program the remote without
using codes.

Troubleshooting / Tips

1. If the same button is pressed and held for 30

seconds, your remote control will turn itself off

automatically. This extends the battery life should
the remote become lodged under or between
heavy objects, for example sofa cushions.

2. If you have a TV that’s operated by remote

control, it is recommended that you plug it directly

into a wall outlet instead of the cable set-top
terminal.

3. If you have any questions concerning the brand,
model or operation of your cable set-top terminal,
contact your cable operator.

4. If the [MODE] button is not operating, the remote
is in its locked mode. To set the remote to its
unlocked mode, see Section 16.
